A group calling themselves “serious people,” including musician and climate activist Oli Frost, has developed a simple video game called Asset Manager Quest to satirize the fossil fuel industry. The game, styled after an old Pong console, challenges players to balance profit with sustainability, highlighting the impact of investment decisions on the environment.

A group of “serious people,” including someone who calls himself Oli Frost, have devised a simple computer game called, a wealth management company based in Scotland that is heavily involved in funding the fossil fuel industry. Above is a screenshot of the opening screens in the game, which is way less complicated than Pac-Man and about as complex as Pong. In an odd twist, the creators of Asset Manager Quest styled their game console to resemble the one used by Pong.

The game challenges players to make decisions that balance profit with sustainability, showing how managing resources can make or break the planet’s future. It’s a fresh and entertaining way to get people thinking about the role that businesses, investments, and even everyday choices play in the climate crisis. Oli’s game is another example of how he takes serious topics and makes them engaging.

Let’s start with what are subsidies? There’s a lot of arguments about this, Barnard says. A lot of people try to pretend that classes of subsidies aren’t actual subsidies, they’re something else. But Michael prefers to go with the International Monetary Fund definition. From 2010 to 2015, they normalized what they considered to be subsidies, and it’s a big bag. They talk about direct subsidies, which are the ones everybody thinks about — giving money to the fossil fuel industry.
